Chapter 56: A Good Show to Watch (Second Update)

  The martial arts arena was almost empty with only a few people scattered around. No wonder, it's class time now. The principal just went to inform some people to come and take the assessment.

  When Zhuge Mingyue arrived at the arena, she saw several people standing beside the stage. Among them was a woman who looked like 25 or 26 years old, with elegant eyebrows and eyes, long hair that fell in soft waves down her back, wearing a light-colored long skirt. Next to her stood three unfamiliar students: a boy with an arrogant expression, a girl with an icy face, and another girl with a smile on her face who was slightly shorter than the others, curiously sizing up Zhuge Mingyue and her companions as they approached.

  "Zhuge Mingyue, come, this is a teacher from the Imperial City's Purple Cloud Academy, Liang Rouyun, Teacher Liang." The principal smiled and explained, "Teacher Liang, this is Zhuge Mingyue."

  "Hello, Teacher Liang." Zhuge Mingyue greeted politely.

  "Are you Zhuge Mingyue?" Liang Rouyun smiled as she looked at Zhuge Mingyue.

  Zhuge Mingyue nodded: "Yes."

  "That's good, let's start now." Liang Rouyun smiled slightly, "I heard from the principal and Baili that your strength is very strong."

  "Wait a minute, teacher, I'll go first." Suddenly, the boy standing next to Liang Rouyun, Jie Ao, spoke up.

  "Alright." Liang Rouyun nodded. This student had excellent qualifications, and she was very satisfied with him. If Zhuge Mingyue defeated him, Liang Rouyun decided to admit Zhuge Mingyue.

  "Zhuge Mingyue, hello, I'm Zhao Ling. This is Kuang Xinyang, and this is Zhuge Yaxin." Zhao Ling was the smiling girl who was slightly shorter than the others. She smiled as she introduced them, then suddenly had an epiphany, "Huh? You both have the surname Zhuge, could it be... Yaxin, is she your cousin?"

  "What qualifications does she have to be my cousin? Joke! The Zhuge family doesn't have such a person." The girl named Zhuge Yaxin coldly laughed and disdainfully glanced at Zhuge Mingyue, then turned her head away and whispered, "She's just a wild seed after all."

  The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Zhao Ling looked at Zhuge Yaxin with some embarrassment, and then looked at Zhuge Mingyue. The simple-minded her didn't look at Zhuge Mingyue with a strange gaze, she just introduced out of kindness and enthusiasm, so she didn't think much about it. But unexpectedly, Zhuge Yaxin spoke so sharply.

  "Zhao Ling, hello." Zhuge Mingyue smiled and nodded at Zhao Ling, "What your classmate said is right, I'm not actually a member of the Zhuge family. It just so happens that I also have the surname Zhuge, but I'm an orphan, all my relatives are dead." The three words 'all my relatives are dead' were especially emphasized.

  Zhao Ling's mouth twitched, but she couldn't smile. Zuge Yaxin, on the other hand, was shocked and turned her head to glare at Zuge Mingyue with venom in her eyes. This despicable wild child! How dare she say such a thing? She wanted to scold her, she wanted to refute her, but how could she? If she refuted it by saying that Zuge Mingyue was a member of the Zuge family, wouldn't that be slapping herself in the face? She absolutely refused to acknowledge this wild child as a member of the Zuge family. But Zuge Mingyue had said that her family members were all dead. How detestable! This was like cursing every single person in the Zuge family! Zuge Yaxin felt a surge of anger stuck in her throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it down.

  Ling Feiyang couldn't help but burst out laughing behind her back. Mingyue, ah Mingyue, she's not like her name at all - the moon in the sky is so gentle, but she's more often like a scorching sun!

  Zhu Ge Ya Xin looked at the person laughing out loud with anger and hatred, but was shocked to find that it was actually Ling Fei Yang. How could Ling Fei Yang appear here?

  "Zhao Ling, I told you not to be so friendly with people casually. These people still don't know if they can pass the assessment or not, and it's not certain that they will become our classmates, what's the hurry?" Kuang Xinyang spoke in a bad tone, staring at Zhuge Mingyue, "Let's compare first before talking."

  Zhao Ling's face turned red and she lowered her head without saying a word.

  "Oh, okay. Let's go then." Zhuge Mingyue shrugged nonchalantly and with a light tap of her foot, she sprang onto the stage with an astonishingly light movement. Her feet landed silently on the ground.

  Ling Feiyang was taken aback, and he had been feeling that Zhuge Mingyue was somewhat different from before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. Now that he thought about it, Zhuge Mingyue's physical reactions were much more agile and nimble than before. What was the reason for this?

  The principal slowly said from under the stage: "You're both summoners, so you don't need a guardian, right? You two are ready, just say something." The principal was very displeased with Kuang Xinyang's attitude. Even Liang Rouyun beside him didn't say anything. What was this student doing, jumping up and down like that? The matter between Zhuge Mingyue and Zhuge Yaxin was an internal conflict within the Zhuge family, he had nothing to do with it. However, Kuang Xinyang's attitude was discriminatory towards White Feather Academy. Now the principal was coldly smiling in his heart: "Mingyue, I hope you can properly put this arrogant kid in his place."

  The classmates in Zhuge Mingyue's class saw Kuang Xinyang's attitude was so bad, they all started whispering to each other quietly.

  "What's wrong with the people from Ziyun Academy? What are you dragging?"

  "It's possible to pull, look at his nostrils, aren't they quite big? Look, there's even some facing upwards. From this angle, you can see nasal boogers inside the nostrils."

  "You've discovered all of this? Awesome!"

  "That's right, my eyes are the sharpest."

  The voices of the crowd discussing were neither loud nor soft, but just right for Zhuge Yaxin and others to hear, and Kuang Xinyang on the stage could also hear.

  Zhu Ge Yaheng listened to these words and took a closer look at Kuang Xinyang. Kuang Xinyang was a person who, at first glance, looked quite decent and came from a relatively influential family. He had always liked her and followed her around, and although Zhu Ge Yaheng didn't like him, she still allowed him to follow her due to a bit of vanity. Now that these people mentioned it, she took a closer look and discovered that Kuang Xinyang's nostrils were indeed quite large, and from this angle, it seemed like there was really a booger inside. Zhu Ge Yaheng suddenly felt nauseated.

  Kuang Xinyang's gaze turned tense towards Zhuge Yaxin, his heart sinking as he saw Zhuge Yaxin frowning with a look of disgust on her face. Kuang Xinyang felt annoyed in his heart and turned to look at Zhuge Mingyue, his anger finding no outlet, and spoke harshly: "I'm ready!" He secretly planned that soon he would quickly recite the incantation, summoning the demon pet before Zhuge Mingyue could, and have it scratch Zhuge Mingyue's face. This way, Zhuge Yaxin would definitely feel better and still be willing to talk to him. He firmly believed his familiarity with the incantation was above Zhuge Mingyue's.

  "I'm fine too." Zhuge Mingyue said calmly.

  "Well then, let's begin." The principal said loudly.

  As soon as he finished speaking, Xinyang quickly began to chant the incantation. As soon as he finished chanting, he looked up at Zhuge Mingyue with a smug expression. He had already given the order to attack Zhuge Mingyue to the demon pet that had just been summoned.

  But before he could see clearly what was happening in front of him, bursts of laughter were already coming from under the stage.

  Because the crowd under the stage has already seen clearly, Kuang Xinyang's demon pet is a Wind Leopard! There will be a good show to watch!
